US and Israel's Escalating War Against Iran: Trump Defends Decision, Citing Nuclear Threat

WASHINGTON: As the war between the US and Israel escalates after the latter's attack on Iran, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is also affecting the world's energy supply. On the other hand, Donald Trump has defended his decision to wage war. Trump has said that not attacking Iran would have resulted in World War III or a nuclear attack in the future. Trump was reportedly told about Iran's Gulf retaliation and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Despite this, he decided to go to war with Iran. Donald Trump has defended his decision to launch air strikes with Israel on February 28, arguing that its economic consequences are small given the dire consequences for the future. He has described the impact of the war on the market as a very small price to pay. Trump has said that he could not be given a chance to launch a nuclear strike to prevent the stock market from collapsing. World War III would have broken out.
